News Activision patent will improve VR shooter immersion via haptic gun controller

[Tek]

When VR first hit the market, developers and industry insiders began boasting that it would be the "future of gaming" thanks to the new levels of immersion that playing on a standard screen can't achieve. While this hasn't exactly been the case over the last few years, with VR peripherals still being a relatively niche market, some industry leaders like Activision are still looking to push the genre forward, looking at Sony and Nintendo's lead with Haptic controllers.

A new patent by Activision might be the next step for VR, thanks to what the company's new peripheral might mean for first person shooters in virtual reality specifically. The success of this new project may even push improvements on motion tracking controllers entirely, for use on consoles outside of VR environments.
